yea yea...that was my last measurement posted. well i figured i needed to give April her props and at least give her the 15 day mark circ measurement like i did with Kenny and Clegg. 61" this morning at 5:30 am. she is a chugger like Kenny. comforters will go on tonight as there is already a nip in the air this morning at 60 degrees and the girls been used to 70 degree nights for the past 15 days. the lower 50s are predicted. i had 2 old sweat shirts over kenny last night cuz i could only find 2 white sheets and i like to cover my pumpkins when i stihl fog like i did last night. i felt the exterior temp of kenny and was warmer to the touch than the other 2 with just sheets on them. the pumpkins are big enough now to retain heat over night with the mass size and i will use this mass to their advantage by trapping in their heat and using the heat of the ground with a thick comforter drapped over the pumpkins and surrounding soil. i like j.d.'s quote recently in his diary about having to adapt. that is the name of the game for sure and knowing when to adapt is the key. adapting after the fact can be too late. foresight from previous years experience and current weather patterns will lead one to adapt prior to the changes. trying to stay one step ahead and adapting as you go is critical for success. i enjoy following j.d.s diary every year and decided after reading it last night that the hell with keeping my cards close to the vest. i am gonna post my 10 day measurements along with pics like i always do for my own easily accessible records and also just to post for those following a persons pumkins throughout the season. it is what it is anyways, and like i learned last year, ott doesn't mean diddly when they hit the scale and can go way heavier or way lighter than you expect.
